it's nine pm here in moscow tonight a badge of pace from a region in turmoil the e.u. gets its nobel prize but hundreds of protesters joined the voices saying it doesn't deserve the award. egypt's opposition calls for more protests across the country are projecting the referendum on the new islamist base constitution that. the ruling regime and the opposition in bahrain say they're ready to sit at the negotiating table but many believe the divisions run too deep to end the twenty months of pricing. hello good evening who just joined is kevin owen your thoughts he tonight in moscow

and first the european union three presidents have received this year's nobel peace prize on behalf of the group it's been given to commend the you for fostering peace but not everyone agrees hundreds marched through a norwegian capital in protest of a looks of why many believe the doesn't deserve the prize and why the whole nobody institution may now be to rethink. mark. one day i live in a nation where they will not be deterred by the call about them but by the content of back our i would try to be one it can be probably become a glorious. however the nobel peace prize is only awarded to a living person this is when it tastes trying teria especially when it comes to finances the announcement the european union was to take up the twenty twelve gongs sparked heated debate borders being discredited particularly to the outrageous he's

picked it up recently well to be frank inside the united states i don't think very many people pay attention to the nobel peace prize anymore large numbers of americans were stunned when yasser arafat received the nobel peace prize many years ago president obama was given a prize for reasons that no one understood see what's. done over the last twelve months to convince the nobel committee it's with the of such a prestigious award. it supported regime change in foreign countries and several member states indulged in violent crackdowns on demonstrate is outraged by the failure of the government's. skeptics. think it devalues the whole concept of the nobel peace prize and what's really happening is that the european union is having its worst year ever at its mates and the international community having to it's a brit to have been awarded of the announcement to be made in the very week that i

went to athens i was greeted not just by tens of thousands of protesters but people dressed up in swastikas and giving it. frankly i grew up in a europe that was divided from east to west and i'm now living in a europe that is divided from north to south and never at any point in the history of this union has there been. more discord and rancor that we currently got among more moderate forces there are concerns the peace prize is being used as a political football i think this award basically does a lot of discredit past people who've won this prize i mean it demonstrates a sort of heavy politicization of the use of this award and now it's been suggested that this year's winner of the peace prize picked it up more for not having done something as opposed to having food the peace around the globe it seems like they got the prize more because there hasn't been any war in europe for many decades

rather than having done anything specific i think as long as civic institutions like the nobel prize continue to lose their legitimacy in their spirit through political favoritism and these prizes are always political but such a blatant and obvious political favoritism in maneuvering i think it actually takes something away and i think it's actually damaging that leaves the whole institution of the prize facing the question of whether the nobility is being drained from the new down peter all of the r t. we've got some sort of john laughlin for the institute of democracy and cooperation he told us the e.u. should not have received that award because its policies are less than peaceful there has not been peace in europe for the last sixty years as the president of the european council said everybody knows that there was a war against yugoslavia invented ninety nine in which european states e.u. member states participated very fully they attempt to. reach europe so one cannot

say that there has been peace in europe since them in any case if we look further afield with syria the european union's policy get to a policy of the european union as an organization nevermind its member states as being in my view to fan the flames of the conflict in syria and not to act as a peace broker so there is literally no way in which we can say that the european union as foster peace. result sort of stable situation on the european markets too is italy's technocrat leader today says his time in office will soon be up later than we look at what's in store for the ailing euro zone was simply no way out of the crisis. but next europe's military is taken over egypt's military has taken over the country's security and given powers of arrest in the run up to the referendum next week's votes being rejected by the opposition those unrepresentative and with calls to sage mass nationwide protests getting louder president morsi is trying to make more concessions but has an ease the tension is journalist bill true found out from cairo. this morning president mohamed morsi

truck this is on the decision to increase tax burdens on the country is a sales tax on consumer goods and services this is seen to be quite popular for him in the face of much to sense the increased tax burdens were supposed to be part of the i.m.f. loan international monetary fund loan four point eight billion dollars loan the country's been trying to secure recently definitely reducing these tax burdens will perhaps make it more popular among the streets however yesterday of course the national salvation front become a nation of opposition forces running many of these protests and it's. completely reject the concept of referendum set to be next week and have called for protests they say the constitution will only enforce a presidential dictatorship and then it's a. key social economic demands as well as being presented of the country. by islamist dominated constituent assembly to here in cairo really expecting big

crowds on cheese day against the president. raised by a new coalition of islamic forces opposed the president on tuesday they said they want to have a million people on the streets in support of the president of course with the background of violence on wednesday between rival protest groups right here at the presidential palace which bloody scenes in the streets of cairo such reasons we've now been told the president has also made a tree to step in and secure the nation in addition to giving power to arrest citizens this has been met with much criticism from the protesters who feel that the military will take a heavy hand this comes up with. egypt hosni mubarak stepped down last last year which witnessed quite a heavy and bloody crackdown on protesters during the last year in that transition period last night at the protest in front of the presidential palace protesting screens to teach all. minutes human rights violations towards protesters on the

screens of the president the president was in the presidential palace they said to remind people of what the military and capable of. the republican guards to. be the policy have erected twelve barriers which the protesters did manage to push through but it's still a sign that maybe we see more tanks on the streets as the dissent continues in the lead up to this controversial referendum. well trouville one of egypt's main opposition leaders and a former head of the arab league says more sees regime is failing to fulfill the nation's hopes for change or deal with its major economic problems. be the change that we want the people hoped for dealing with the services. they shouldn't be around the rest of the files pertaining to the life objections. group produced anything new fifty percent of the country lives in poverty the illiteracy the bad

unemployment the problems that have not been addressed until this moment this is the point that one many of us as citizens i was liberals as nationalists that believe that. we are losing time we should not have this stand still kind of policy we have to move on let us move together the vision of dividing the country dividing the people divide the republic opinion is not in our interest. a lot is full interview with egyptian opposition leader is on a bit later today eight hundred forty five you cannot call it already all said here too soon as a time when of course introduced better t.v. testing for migrants to the u.k. report same type of doctors one of the country could be sworn that was the number of cases is rising faster than anywhere in europe a live from london for more on that. despite the prospects of the talks in bahrain

the deep divisions between the opposition of the ruling family could prove too big to overcome again that south of the break is what. well going into the. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've dumped those huge earth covered.

me eat. seafood. to meet. me speak the language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about seventy yards p.

interviews intriguing stories for you. when troy malty arabic to find out more visit arabic all tito it's called. tuberculosis is on the rise in britain faster than anywhere in europe believing u.k. doctors warning the country is going to be swarmed to listen mcgrew blood to probably dog knows whether they've got it or not almost three quarters of the people suffering from the disease were people not born in the u.k. it's good speed on the story sarah ferguson long as others are just judging by what

i've said how much should people be alarmed by this warning them tonight but that kevin ware in the midst of a recession here in the chaos there if he's fighting pretty much every sector and it's a time of year when the n.h.s. already incredibly aid the state says test even further by everyone's costs and sniffles and i think that's really positive what's made this recent study that showing that the number of cases of tb in the casing continually rising over the party decades is so alarming knowing thousand cases last year that's up five percent from the year before and i think a real question here over whether or not the n.h.s. that is facing these each cuts to the services with these austerity measures is actually going to be equipped to do with this threat to our health and that's help me out so that i caught up a little earlier with thought to add a story he works on the very front line here in london with identifying and

cheating people who have tuberculosis and he spoke to me about some of the dangers of this current situation. it's something that it's right back to the one nine hundred eighty s. has been going a long time why haven't we been able to bring our system up to date to deal with this effectively well i think. there's been a number of challenges. but certainly no challenges that could be overcome many of our your partners and most of our north american partners have successfully trained controlled tuberculosis facing the exact same challenges that we face those being principally increasing immigration increasing rates of tb internationally due to an h i v pandemic and in many cases increasing problems of pockets in the community that are suffering stream social deprivation due to austerity and economic hardship a lot of our viewers again see watching this and saying you know we're hearing all the time about these cuts to the n.h.s. about your stereo to measure it's affecting you know our health sector and yet

we're seeing these you know incredibly high numbers of tuberculosis cases it's quite a scary situation i think for the health sector to be in right now it is a scary situation to be index linked to poverty if you look at rates of disease across europe the most important correlating factor is poverty. tb is a disease that finds its knees in booker's a community. block new york and we're going to tackle to be we're going to have to get out of the hospitals into the community service to the affected communities and ensure that they can get faster access to diagnostics and good support through treatment which is a minimum six months. so you clearly there you know there are big issues at the moment they need to be addressed with identifying to bake and then cheating then but of course the implications of this get much much further than this and he was

looking at the n.h.s. at the moment which is a system under pressure when i was speaking to dr ali he did with of the surface here in london working every day on the bright light he created the public health it's purchased the ball and that really sort of first service down your spine because you know at the moment what we're seeing is the economy as a whole here in the u.k. is sick and unfortunately the government's kill for that is austerity measures and we're going to see we're already seeing the implications of cutting to the health service at a time when it's all the same especially in the stories i think are really going to keep coming as we see the effects of you know sort of first thanks for bruce up to speed on that would sort of one of our team in london. according bahrain has jailed the daughter of a prominent opposition activist for one month for taking part in a demonstration it's on a third conviction in the past six months with her father serving life for plotting against the ruling family the uprising in bahrain has been going on for almost two years now although the opposition of the regime say they are ready for dialogue

preselect reports next the divisions might run too deep for any lasting peace. so deeks as his life was shattered his sits on the municipal council in bahrain and several months ago he was shot by police during a peaceful protest looking at his injuries his lucky to be alive they had been online more and i was with many of the protesters when we were approached by riot police they did not hesitate to shoot us directly to the head of the blue police are using for hunting birds and animals i've been shot with over one hundred ninety two pellets scattered all over my body in the head face. legs the most dangerous ones are those inside my lungs. is just one of hundreds who have suffered in the anti-government protests. that started around twenty months ago when revolution fever was sweeping the middle east and north africa the descent in bahrain differs little from that in nations swept by the arab spring that. never stop it is

a daily in different areas against the regime against the direction against the situation. one thousand five hundred residents we have. every day we have a lot of. security forces surrounding the area attacking the people at that house and given the outcome of the arab spring of evils bahrain's ruling elite is doing its best to stamp out revolt the government recently slapped a ban on all public gatherings bahrain's chief of police says it's not permanent but it is necessary we have introduced a temporary restriction on gatherings and protests and that is. one reason because lately we have seen that these gatherings and protests have been taking more violent. methods than one year we had over four hundred protests in bahrain

that's more than one protest and we have tried to solve the problem however they didn't seem to be able to control protests and together despite the ban and the risk of arrest people are still gathering the hard core of the protest comes from poor neighborhoods as soon as we reached one we immediately and counted a small and peaceful anti governmental rally. some a simple salute to estimate how many people were actually taking part there just a moment in bahrain that is that these protesters are being supported by the local sunni community which make up to seventy percent of this country's population. the ruling elite are sunni muslims and this may look like a sectarian war but the authorities firmly reject their actions are religiously motivated there is a radical movement in the opposition party they are hardliners they want to see regime change they want to implement their own style of government they seek a secretary in theocracy and that is unacceptable saw because i feel

out of desperation they know that they don't have the support of the rest of the population of bahrain they have turned to these violent means the protests are gathering momentum and allegations of torture in prisons are leading to serious international pressure being put on monarch so bahrain's rulers find themselves in a tough position they want dialogue with dissenters but the question is whether they will be satisfied with what the king has to offer. ski r.t. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. the western warnings are circling over syria's chemical weapons but israel is going to worry on its mind as well that that arsenal could get into the hands of hezbollah for israel such arms being controlled by what it considers to be a terrorist group would be a red line markers papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine told us it's considered not groundless either. there's a very strong possibility that these syrian militants could very well acquire

chemical weapons which of course would be catastrophic not just for syria but for the entire region it might be an inconvenient truth to many was western politicians but of course the islamists in syria who are largely representative of the militants they wouldn't hesitate to use them against syria's minorities and they certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them against israel so there is that very important to stop the flow of the constant flow of weapons and cash into syria by certain western states eleven turkey going to saudi arabia and qatar the israelis then not concerned that the syrian government would use chemical weapons against israel they are very concerned that the militants in syria would use them and if they are quiet then it could be a pretext that but the west issues in concert believe america to intervene in the

syria they claimed in the run up to the invasion of iraq the reasons for going in iraq had weapons of mass destruction nothing was found intervene in libya colonel gadhafi forces we're told we're going to see. our sons and thousands of libyan civilians there was never any evidence for that spend once again yes there's a very realistic possibility that the militants in syria could acquire chemical weapons and of course who believes sponsible for that would be those countries around the world in particular in the region turkey saudi arabia gets are starting western countries that are doing absolutely everything they can at the moment to weaken the syrian government. much more a website are called to love story to come to that type of show you hear but you can get your teeth into without moscow preparing to approve a list now of americans accused of human rights violations in response to washington's magnitsky bill at least the russians would say also online. how is this for a killer apples the taurus new iphone maps and labeled life threatening

hello welcome to the sports show with me kate partridge and here's a glimpse of what's coming up. winter champions their scarf and braved the cold to see the army men speak more directly or to want to get into the winter break top of the russian premier league. while capital clash k h l leaders did our moscow stave off a late rally by ten scarred in a stunning first match up between alexander ovechkin and pavel datsyuk. and fighting talk a billionaire at the shell was mine off talks exclusively to r.t. about two of his big passions leading all small to silverware and fencing to occultists future. affairs has got moscow will go into the winter break top of the

russian premier league after beating rock bottom or davy a two one and they'll be some relieved players and phones as the cold weather starts to settle across the country richard and hopefully reports. the fans from around the world will go to great lengths to support their favorite however some fans and russia have to put up with more of a moost temperature drops well below freezing well beyond search of when turn one of the stadiums around europe such as the dumbass arena in donetsk ukraine install heaters to keep their supporters mean no social luxury is available to fans in russia who have to put up with temperatures that can do as low as minus twenty is just an additional one so it's in but of course it's not easy to attend a football match in such cold weather when the temperature is below freezing it's difficult to stand for more than fifteen minutes without feeling the cold your whole body is absolutely freezing i don't think it was the best decision to.
